Join Veriditas founder the Reverend Dr. Lauren Artress in conversation with Phil Cousineau, author, film maker, and pilgrim for Revitalizing the Art of Pilgrimage on Monday, April 10 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM PDT.
In this webinar Phil will discuss approaching travel as a sacred journey, a personal pilgrimage. For at least 60,000 years people from around the world, in every age and culture, have dealt with personal or historical crises by setting off on pilgrimages in order to revitalize and reorient themselves.
In this webinar you will learn tips on how to transform an outward journey into an inward search, discover the benefits of seeing a place with the soul of a poet, and be inspired by time honored traditions to make your upcoming travel extraordinary.
Registration for the webinar is below. VIA members be sure to register for the additional question/answer period that follows the program.
An edited recording will be sent to all participants if you are unable to attend live. For more information about guest Phil Cousineau, check his website, www.philcousineau.net.
